In Germany, education is regulated at the state level rather than at the national level. Each state defines its own models and methods of teaching handwriting in primary schools. The common goal is acquiring a personal style of connected handwriting at the end of primary school in fourth grade (10-11 years old). Emphasis is on the flow of connected writing, letter recognition, and legibility, not the exact imitation of individual letters. In most states, teachers and schools can choose from three cursive styles: Ausgangsschrift (LA) , Vereinfachte Ausgangsschrift (VA) , and Schulausgangsschrift (SAS) . But in 2010, the Grundschulverband , or Association of Primary Schools, presented an alternative progressive approach for handwriting teaching: Grundschrift , based primarily on a print-style script with some added cursive elements, like Häckchen , or exit strokes. Some German states, like Bremen and Hamburg, allow this method to be used in schools, in addition to the dominant Ausgangschrift systems. According to Das Deutsche Schulportal, Grundschrift is taught in 10% of all German schools. Playwrite Deutschland Grundschrift is a variable font with a weight range from Thin (100) to Regular (400), and supports over 150 Latin-based languages. It has a single-weight sibling with Guides, Playwrite DE Grund Guides , designed to harmonize seamlessly with this main font while providing a visual aid for primary school children.
